Celtic (ancient Druid) information

Ogham tree calendar

The Celtic calendar started out as a moon calendar, but was aligned with the solar year during antiquity. Robert Graves proposed the Celtic tree calendar described here. While widely used by Neo-Pagans, many critics dispute the authenticity. The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar (the one used here) starts with New Year on the Winter Solstice. The Beth-Luis-Faern calendar starts with New Year on Samhain.

Each Celtic tree month (or moon) is named for a Celtic Ogham letter (first line above) and a tree (second line above). All of the Celtic months also had additional folk names (folk names for this month listed below).

Asatru (ancient Norse) information

Month: Harvest

Roman information

a.d. XIX Kal. Sept.
19 days before the Kalends of September
Month: Sextilis or Avgvstvs or Augustus

The a.d. XIX Kal. designation means ante diem or 19 days before the Kalends (first day or New Moon) of the next month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued to use the lunar day names.

The Roman month of Sextilis is named for sex or sext, because it was originally the sixth month of the Roman solar year. In 8 BCE, the Roman Senate renamed the month Augustus (August), for then Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar. August was sacred to Ceres, Roman Goddess of grain.

The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In Romulus calendar, Sextilis (the sixth month) had 30 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numas calendar, Sextilis had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesars calendar (the Julian Calendar), Sextilis had 30 days. Caesars calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius death and made other minor modifications (including expanding August to 31 days), resulting in the modern Western calendar. The Roman Senate changed the name of the month Sextilis to Augustus (August) in honor of the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.
